Valentine's Day is fun and romantic... but Galentine's Day? That's just as important. Because let's be honest: who was always there for you after a break-up, who knows all your secrets and who sends you memes at 2 a.m.? That's right: your friends. Time to put them in the spotlight with a beautiful bouquet of roses.
What is Galentine's Day (and how is it different from Valentine's Day)?
Galentine's Day is celebrated every year on 13 February, the day before Valentine's Day. It's the day to celebrate your love for your friends, sisters, colleagues or other powerful women in your life. No romantic obligations, no couples, no awkward dinners — just friendship, fun and love.
The difference between Valentine's Day and Galentine's Day?
- Valentine's Day = romantic love
- Galentine's Day = friendship, self-love & sisterhood
And the good news is: flowers are part of both.


Why give roses for Galentine's Day?
Roses are no longer just for romantic dates or marriage proposals. They also symbolise appreciation, love and connection — exactly what Galentine's Day is all about. Why ordering roses for Galentine's Day is such a good idea:
- They are timeless and stylish
- They say ‘I appreciate you’ without being awkward
- They are perfect for brunch, girls' night or a surprise moment
Whether you're surprising one friend or a whole group of friends, you can't go wrong with roses.


Which colours of roses are suitable for Galentine's Day?
Not every rose has to be red (we save that for Valentine's Day). For Galentine's Day, there are many fun, fresh options:
- Pink roses: The ultimate Galentine's Day classic. Pink roses represent friendship, gratitude and admiration. Perfect for your bestie.
- White roses: Represent purity and sincere friendship. Ideal for a subtle, elegant bouquet of roses.
- Yellow roses: The colour of cheerfulness and friendship. For that friend who always brings sunshine (even on Monday mornings).
- Mixed roses: Can't choose? You don't have to. A mixed bouquet of roses is playful, fun and as versatile as your friendship.
How many roses should you give for Galentine's Day?
There are no set rules (thankfully), but this will help you choose:
- 1 rose – Small, sweet and symbolic
- 5 or 7 roses – Perfect for a casual surprise
- 10 or 12 roses – For a real ‘wow’ factor
- A large bouquet of roses – Because your friendship is next level
Galentine's Day isn't about big or expensive, but about the gesture. Still, it's okay to go all out — after all, buying flowers is always a good idea.
What should you write on the greeting card? (inspiration)
A card makes your gift personal. Don't stress: it doesn't have to be Shakespeare. A few ideas:
- ‘To my favourite person to laugh, cry and drink wine with’
- ‘Roses are red, friendship is gold. You're my favourite, you know that, right?’
- ‘Galentine's Day is for you, because without you my life would be a lot more boring.’
- ‘Thank you for always being there — even when I'm hangry.’
- ‘Not my Valentine, but my forever friend.’
Short, sweet or funny: anything goes, as long as it comes from the heart.
Celebrating Galentine's Day? Ordering roses has never been so much fun
Whether you're surprising one friend or several, a beautiful bouquet of roses says more than a thousand text messages. Galentine's Day is the perfect time to send flowers without romantic expectations, but with lots of love.
So:
- Order roses
- Buy flowers for your besties
- Celebrate friendship as it should be
Because true love comes in all forms — and sometimes just in a vase on the table.
